TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/10/13 -- Canada's favourite travel company, itravel2000, has reported a huge increase in Canadian bookings for vacation packages to Cuba. As a popular long-time favourite among Canadians, this is no surprise, but the volume and growth from not only years past, but against other hot travel sun destinations like Mexico, these numbers are unprecedented.

Based on bookings for 2012, itravel2000 helped thousands of Canadians escape to Cuba, ranked as the new number one travel destination, dropping Mexico into second place. Canadians are going beyond the popular Cuba destinations like Varadero and Havana, and exploring new emerging cities like Holguin, Cayo Coco, Santa Maria, Santiago, and Camaguey. Not only has Cuba developed more resorts, but itravel2000 has expanded their offerings as well, providing more flights and resorts available to Canadians.

"We know Canadians love Cuba, and we offer all-inclusive vacation packages to many of their great cities, and various different resorts too," Jonathan Carroll, president of itravel2000, explained. "We even see repeat visits to Cuba which affirms how strongly Canadians love to travel and explore new places in Cuba, or the same places and resorts because of the amazing experiences they have shared there".

From the exotic Havana to some of the most breathtaking beaches of Varadero, Canadian travellers can choose from so many great vacation deals at www.itravel2000.com/cuba.aspx
